The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December, when many places saw temperatures 30
25、 degrees above normal and many records were set.This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month, when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above normal.

We can probably find the text in _ ?A. a government report B. a science magazine C. an advertisement D. a newspaperDNo poem should ever be discussed or “anal
33、yzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for
34、reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling(生动的）“interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can no
35、t replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poet
36、ry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language andliterature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone
37、 else.

38、 others B. analyze it by oneselfC. practice reading it aloud D. copy it down in a notebook33. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _.A. to enjoy poetry B. to understand lifeC. to become teacher D. to become poets34.The underlined word make room ( in the
39、 last paragraph) probably means _.A. to build a boothB. to provide equipmentC. to set aside enough space D. to leave a certain amount of time35. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _.A.Poetry is more important than any other subject.B.More stress should be laid on the teaching
40、of poetry. C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上71-75中将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Turning a negative experience into something more positive isnt always easy.
41、In fact, some of the most tragic moments in our life seem never-ending when we are experiencing them. However, there is always a way to take a bad situation and extract something positive from it. Below are five ways to do just that.36. _. That is what you should initially tell yourself when somethi
42、ng bad happens. Repeat those words in your head and even aloud if it helps. The important thing is that you do not panic, as this will only exasperate the negative experience. Every bad moment in your life will end, which can be a comfort during the worst of times.37. _. Some people believe that eve
43、rything happens for a reason. While you may not buy into that philosophy, you can at least give each experience a purpose. Try to think of a lesson that the experience has taught you. Did you meet a new friend while going through this time? Did you learn how not to do something?38. _. This applies t
44、o everything in your life. Almost every situation allows for a bit of levity, so remain humble and try seeing the humorous side of things. Even if it isnt appropriate to joke about something aloud, you can make humorous observations in your mind to keep you on a positive track.39. _. You will not he
45、lp anyone by stewing in a moment that has already passed. Whether you were hurt, embarrassed or both, the negative emotions you felt before should not remain fresh in your psyche. If you continue to dwell in the negative, you will never find your way out again.40. _. As I said before, you should nev
46、er dwell in your past negative experiences. Sometimes it is hard to get out of a funk, however.
